One interrupting Head of the UN is an Arabic-French speaker? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tunisian

'arabic-french speaker?' is the definition.

'one interrupting head of the un is an' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'interrupting' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'head of' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'the' is 't'.
't'+'un'+'is'+'an'='tunisan'
'i' going into 'tunisan' is 'TUNISIAN'.

(Another definition for tunisian that I've seen is " North African native".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
